Internships Lead to Jobs for Trinity Grads—New Issue of TRINITY

What sets Trinity apart from other Christian liberal arts colleges? One distinctive in particular is that 100% of Trinity undergraduates participate in internships or field education.

That means every single student gains professional on-the-job experience or delves deeper into a chosen major through a special research project. Many students find that these opportunities not only add to a resume but lead directly to employment after graduation.

More than 80% of employers want new grads they hire to have completed a formal internship.

A recent article at TIME reported the results of a Harris Interactive survey of college students and hiring managers. According to the article, “more than 80% of employers want new grads they hire to have completed a formal internship.”

In addition, while 44% of students who don’t complete internships feel ready for the job market, 58% of students with unpaid internships and 70% of students with paid internships feel prepared for the workplace.

The fall edition of TRINITY magazine highlights stories about the internship and research experiences of current students as well as alumni.
